Do you have a
pure silver plate or maybe a silver bowl you bought from an online silver store, and want to know if it’s really silver? Good news—testing silver at home is pretty simple. You don’t need fancy tools. Just a few easy tricks can help you figure it out. Silver is great at conducting heat. If you put an ice cube on it, the ice should start melting right away. Try it on your pure silver plate and compare it to a normal metal spoon. On silver, the ice melts faster.
